I just finished watching the movie "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - TopicsExpress



          

I just finished watching the movie "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which was a good movie. It came to me "again" that the common theme in white peoples movies is retribution and a common theme in movies with an African theme is forgiveness. With retribution comes reclamation and a release of the fear and anger a resolve if you will. Additionally what usually comes is an acquisition of material wealth and power. With forgiveness comes a quite calmness about whatever wrong has been perpetrated and usually no acquisition of material wealth. Also with forgiveness is the overpowering belief in a mythical heaven that the forgiver will ascend to. indeed these are themes expressed in the cinema, however the arts are a reflection of our actual and perceived reality.
